The Coming of the Giants - Richmond 1918
On the evening of 29th January 1918 three huge Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI Riesenflugzeug “Giant” bombers of the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) took off from their base in Ghent, Belgium to attack London. The first plane ran into heavy anti-aircraft fire over Billericay and turned for home. It is not known where it dropped its bombs. The second ‘Giant’ was attacked by a night fighter over Tottenham in north London. It too decided to return home offloading its bombs near Wanstead. The third aircraft was also attacked near Hertford by a B.E 12 fighter flown by Capt. A Dennis of RFC 37 Squadron based at Goldhanger in Essex. This attack was unsuccessful and undamaged the ‘Giant’ turned south towards Brentford. Following the Thames towards its target the ‘Giant’ dropped its bombs. The first stick fell on the Old Deer Park, Richmond. The others landed in Brentford, Kew Bridge Road and Chiswick. That night 10 people were killed and the same number injured. According to reports there was little material damage.

The Kingston Zodiac
Maybe it was a reaction to the horrors of the 1st World War but in the 1920’s there was a revival of interest in mysticism, paganism, ancient beliefs and the romantic tales of King Arthur and Uther Pendragon. We may have won the Great War but it was a brutal, messy business. In the myths and fairy tales of the dark past maybe we hoped to find a more civilised, more chivalrous heritage.
